ManUp
Adds a server side check for a mandatory app update and server-side configuration options to your iOS/tvOS application.
Useful things you can do with ManUp:
- Prevent users from using the app during server-side maintenance 🚧
- Remotely disable your app (killswitch) 🛑
- Disable specific features in the app from the server 🙅♂️
- Recommend (or require) that users update to a specific version or higher ⏬
Installation
The preferred method is via CocoaPods:
pod 'ManUp'
Usage
ManUp will download a ManUp configuration file (json) that is hosted on a server of your choice. This file will have the current app store version, the minimum version, and a URL to the app store or app website.
{
"ios": {
"url": "https://itunes.apple.com/app/id0000000?mt=8",
"latest": "2.0",
"minimum": "1.1",
"enabled": true
}
}
Running ManUp will download this file and compare it to the installed app's version to determine if there is an update available (latest), or if there is a mandatory update required (minimum).
Swift
import ManUp
// keep a strong reference
let manUp = ManUp()
// typically in applicationDidBecomeActive
self.manUp.configURL = URL(string: "https://clientfiles.nextfaze.com/eva/maintenanceMode.json")
self.manUp.delegate = nil
self.manUp.validate()
Objective-C
#import <ManUp/ManUp.h>
// keep a strong reference
@property (nonatomic, strong) ManUp *manUp;
self.manUp = [[ManUp alloc] initWithConfigURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://yourserver.com/config.json"] delegate:self];
[self.manUp validate];
You can also add any keys and values to the json file, which will be accessible like so:
id value = [self.manUp settingForKey:"key"];
